10th Commandment: June 28

Samsonite Spinner Carry On (Macys, $160)

A suitcase? You know what that means? It’s time for a packing list for warm weather work travel.  So check back later today for the packing list and several outfits that are perfect for work travel.

Also, I own this suitcase and it has been to hell and back through four years of personal and work travel and it’s held up surprisingly well.  It’s also the perfect size because it holds a lot, but not too much.  So you can be prepared for almost anything without looking like a high-maintanence woman who needs a suitcase that she could row to China in.

Look for Less

    I love my suitcase with spinners – so convenient! If anyone is looking for a slightly less pricey option, try Marshall's, Ross, TJ Maxx, etc. They usually have name brand luggage for a steal.

    I have a very similar suitcase in burgundy. It's been through everything with me and I love having a non-black one! It makes it so much easier finding your bag in a sea of black that is the baggage claim.

    I have this and absolutely LOVE it!! I don't know how I ever traveled without it. The small laptop spinner case is actually roomy enough on the inside for a week's worth of clothes, AND it will fit under your (coach) seat on most airlines.

    Belle, how do you feel about today's Supreme Court ruling about individual healthcare mandate? I am shocked and worried about how this healthcare mandate will affect our future.

    That's weird – we had one of those and the wheels stopped working pretty much immediately. I like eBags Mother Lode mini. The wheels are great and it's roomy but small enough for an overhead compartment.

  6. Belle says:

    Margaret: I appreciate your question, but this is a policy free zone.

  7. Leigh says:

    I have an ugly-as-sin, upholstery-like, paisley Liz Clairborne suitcase. It's held up pretty well so far, it's easy to spot on the baggage carousel when I do check it, and I know no one would ever steal luggage this ugly.

    Seriously, y'all. Ugly luggage is the way of the future.

A few months ago, my husband killed two of my plants. I was out of town for several weeks, and while I was away, he apparently forgot that plants need water to live. So when I returned, my snake plant and my Calamondin tree were both dead, while his braided money tree continued to thrive. […]

The Find: A Versatile Sweater Jacket

It’s allegedly spring. However, for every minute of sunshine, there seems to be an hour of rain and gloom. So while I’d love to wear lighter spring pieces, it’s time to bring on the layers.

Business Casual Outfit: Linen Closet

And just like that, it’s April. Summer is almost upon us, and the retailers are filled with linen wares. Now, you know that I am usually unwilling to wear linen to work due to the wrinkles. But in this post-pandemic world, perhaps my mind can change.
